The 15th Annual Fall Conference concludes in the wake of major federal interest in the secondary market. Recently, LISA has played an active role in several major federal congressional hearings and ongoing inquiries into the role of securitization of life settlements. As the U.S. economy is revived, the association sees the market playing a larger role in the financial decisions of many seniors and, by extension, in the policy decisions of Washington lawmakers.

Running from November 8-10, LISA’s 15th Annual Fall Conference garnered an attendance in excess of three hundred. In an economy slow to recover, the success of such a crowd was a stark reminder that interest in life settlements among investors and consumers remains as vibrant as ever. “We’re extremely pleased with not only the size of this year’s turnout — given ongoing economic hardships — but the depth and diversity of our attendees this year exceeded all expectations,” remarked Doug Head, LISA Executive Director. “We’re seeing a significantly higher level of understanding of this industry among financial professionals. This was reflected in the quality of presentation and dialogue at this year’s fall meeting.”

The 2009 Spring Conference presents an aggressive 3-day agenda for sophisticated financial professionals.

What you can look forward to: an estimated 500 attendees, expert-driven analysis, industry research and collaborative forums for dialogue and presentation. Your personal business interests are our high priority.
